Saddle shoe

The saddle shoe is a low-heeled casual Oxford shoe, characterized by a plain toe and distinctive, saddle-shaped decorative panel placed mid foot. Saddle shoes are typically constructed of leather and are most frequently white with a black saddle, although any color combination is possible.

Saddle shoes are worn by both men and women in a variety of styles ranging from ultra high platforms to golf cleats.

According to The New York Times in 2009, in the United States, saddle shoes enjoyed a recent comeback among males in their teens, twenties, and thirties.
